    Funnily enough I compared macaque to Hamish the other day as macaque has started to do exactly the same thing.

    That these boards are a lot more calm and civilised now that house prices are rising.

    I didn't realise this board was exclusively for house prices. :o

    What's going to happen if prices do fall in the future for a period of time? ;)

    This forum has descended into a few bulls, who spend every waking hours on here (chucky,Hamish et al) frantically agreeing with each other and trying to wind-up the non-existent bears (non-existent because they've all been banned). It's a joke! It's time to pull the plug Martin.

    hi mewbie... :rolleyes:

    The only people who have been banned while I've been here are brodders and ad9898 for posting porno material into a thread, dervish for posting too many anti-immigrant threads and Dithering Dad twice, once for complaining about the large number of racist threads on this board and again in the pensions thread when he said Martin was giving bad advice re: paying off debt before paying into a pension.

    Out of these I think Ad9898 was a bear, brodders was just a weirdo who stalked carolt and dithering dad seemed to have no particular alliegance with either team and therefore argued with everyone.

    so, who are the banned bears?

    Personally I'm going to start trolling every thread with attempted gags and drag everything off topic, if someone calls me up on it I'm going to say "I didn't say that". I'm going to start loads of threads about off topic subjects and form my own army of sock puppets to annoy regulars with.

    Oh, and change my name to mewbie_Devon.

    I miss !!!!!!. I disagreed with !!!!!! almost 100% of the time and was a good example of someome who attempted to over-analyse the housing market. But the posts always sparked debate and there's too little of that now.

    And still chucking every spare penny into it!

    Surely it's more of a case of virtually everyone with a bearish viewpoint being banned by the moderators which is all very democratic - NOT. So we can only guess where the moderators' sympathies lie. :rolleyes:

    But don't you think if they are banned they would just return like a 'boomerang' by using a different id?
